So true.

And something I've seen and heard shared by modelers before. Much has to do with scale and how much definition of details and visual draw or effects you may like.

Here's another very helpful video from panzermeister36 showing start to finish including weathering of German Grey-

The best matches from the vids were just a tad light, but after weathering they should darken up a bit. At that point I would say those colors would be spot on.

Hi John.
On my Ini Tiger 1, I used the Dunkelgrau from Fosco Army Paint.
It is out of a rattle can.

Sorry John for the late reply and also the erroneous information on the inexpensive big spray can of dunkelgrau. It is actually Vallejo and not AK.

This one is the one I meant. I also think their spray can Russian 4BO is a great paint too for WW2 Soviet stuff
